Kinda xD So I don't hate you anymore, I love you all cuz you read my story.
Damian POV
Sarah ran out after Cameron, I felt bad. I was Cameron's best mate, and yesterday he said he was part Irish, that made us Long-lost Irish brothers! Well I didn't go out after Cameron, Sarah did. I wonder how long they would pretend they don't like each other before making out in the middle of a song, or at some party. I looked at Rachel, I wonder how long we would have to me 'just friends' before we would go official. Rachel said she liked me, and she would like to date, but she's not ready. Emily was talking in quick animated bursts.
"Okay so Summer officially starts this Friday. I have a pool. The weather man says there is supposed to be a heat wave this weekend. So pool party at my house? We could invite the whole Glee-club, my parents have to go to France for work, so I can get into their liquor stash. What do you reckon Linds?"
"Umm...Hold on...I dunno...UH YES!" People around us jumped and turned to stare at Lindsay.
"Oops." Lindsay blushed.
"Keep it down please." Mr Schue told her.
"I don't think it'll be a good idea. Mr Schue doesn't...agree with us drinking."
"He won't find out." Emily said.
"Sounds like fun." I put in.
"Ah, Cameron and Sarah back, alright let's get right back in." Mr Schue pulled out a black whiteboard pen. Cameron and Sarah sat back down next to us, they were smiling thankfully.
"What'd we miss?" Sarah asked.
"Big plans. Tell you after." Emily said excitedly.
"Alright guys, so with Sam moving out of state and Puck, Quinn and Lauren quitting it took our numbers down to just 9 people. But with our new comers we are now up to 16 people! So I thought no other way to welcome our new members than a little friendly competition. So our them this week is..." He scribbled something on the board.
"DUETS!"
"Again?" Mike sighed.
"Yes, and the prize will be...again, an all-expenses paid trip to Breadstix."
"Yes." Sarah hissed under her breath.
"I'm with Aretha." Santana said immediately.
"We will actually be doing something different. Instead of choosing your partners and songs. I have one hat filled with names, the other song choices. And don't worry they are modern, hip songs."
"Thank god." The 'Kurt' kid said.
"Alright..Rachel come on up." Rachel smiled and stood up. I crossed my fingers. 'Please be me, Please be me.'
"I'm with Tina." She said brightly. I groaned inwardly.
"Oh...yay." Tina smiled weakly.
"And our song is...Bulletproof."
"Oh yay!" Tina said with more enthusiasm.
"Emily." Mr Schue called. Emily ended up with Artie, singing Nothin On You. Marissa was with Blaine singing Freaking Perfect. Santana pulled out Finn and According to You. Mercedes was with Kurt, singing you and I.
"Sarah." Mr Schue called again. I turned to look at Sarah who was giggling at Santana and Finn who were glaring at each other.
"Oh, yes sir." Sarah walked forward quickly and pulled a piece of card from both hats.
"Well...I got...Oh cool, Cameron, get your skinny butt up here. Bring your guitar we're singing Need You Now."
That's not gonna end up with kissing at all, I thought bitterly as I watched Rachel and Tina laughing as they sang the song softly. I looked at last people left. Brittany, Mike or Lindsay. Oh lord, if you love me, you'll let me be with Lindsay.
"Brittany, come pick someone." Brittany ran forward and pulled out a piece of paper.
"It's blank, I'm with my imaginary friend Pete."
"No, Brittany, turn it over."
"Oh...I'm with...D...Da...Damian." I groaned and looked at the ceiling.
"Why do you hate me?" I whispered.
"We're singing...Mr Schue can you say it, it's too long." I saw the hesitation in Mr Schue as he struggled to not roll his eyes.
"You guys will be singing I've Had The Time of My Life."
"Oh like Sam and Quinn sang? That's a very romantic song. Maybe I'll fall in love with my leprechaun." Oh please no. Lindsay tried her best to look brightly at Mike. Who was looking bitter, I wonder what was wrong with him. Maybe cuz he couldn't do the song with his girlfriend hey I couldn't a song with my...almost-girlfriend, I guess I looked pissed off too.
"That leaves us two!"
"You guys can do a reprise of SING!"
"Yes sir." Mike said looking slightly crestfallen, looking at Tina.
I just need you nooooow.
Everyone turned to look at Cameron and Sarah as they did the last note, rather high, I might add, they had one arm around the others waist and were turning. They finished and looked into each others eyes before they burst out laughing.
"Man, our acting skills are gonna kick your ass!" Sarah cried, still laughing. I noticed how Marissa looked down and shook her head. Yeah, I knew. Acting-shmacting.
"Good enthusiasm guys, that's exactly what we need. You guys better up the ante or we've got a duo going to Breadstix!" Mr Schue clapped.
"Damn straight." Sarah raised her hand and Cameron slapped it.
"Hey D...Dam...Damian. We should practice tonight at my house." Brittany pulled a strand of hair from her ponytail and twirled around her finger. I twiddled nervously with my hoodie string.
"I...guess...We should practice our song."
"Yes. Practice, totally important." Brittany fluttered her eyes which reminded me oddly of a little girl.
"Alright guys, just keep practicing among your partners, I will be sure to get the Auditorium next time."
"So, do the leprechauns back home have awesome eyes too?" Brittany asked. Oh my god, was she hitting on me? I looked at Cameron who was doing some sweet-romantic looking dance with Sarah while singing their song under their breaths. Just make out already. I need help! This chick was crazy, I wasn't used to American girls. Jeez, I looked at Lindsay she wasn't even practicing just laughing as Mike did some robot dance thing. Emily? No she was rapping some song with Artie. Rachel? No her and Tina were making up dance moves. Why couldn't I get a sane partner. Pick on the Irish guy why don't ya? It'll be fun, let's watch him scream swear words in Irish while a little 90 pound girl rapes him. Brittany picked up the sheet music for their song.
"Can you help me read? I'm not good." She said, trying to sound sexy.
"...Sure." I forced a smile and sat next to Brittany.
"Your accent is really sexy." She said, ignoring the lyrics I was pointing out to her.
"Thanks?"
"We have the same coloured eyes, that's a sign. We were destined to have sex." Jesus, I was screwed.
CAMERON POV
Sarah finished her note and tried to gaze romantically into my eyes like in those awful romance movies, or Twilight ugh, please lord don't let it turn out like that. Sarah's lips curled up and she broke out laughing.
"I can't do it. I'm sorry. But something is bothering me. Why isn't blurry in the gap between your glasses and your face. It's just normal when I look through them."
"...They're prescription."
"Can I try them on?"
"Oh...nah, they'll give you a headache."
"I'll be fine."
"You shouldn't though, bad for your eyesight."
"Cameron, one way or another I'm gonna try those glasses on."
"No, I doubt that." The smile dropped of Sarah's face like a weight.
"Cameron, give me the glasses."
"No."
"Well, you now, I have some change in my bag. Can you come with me to the gas-station after school, it's a bit hot...And I feel like a slushy." I hesitated.
"...No." Sarah narrowed her eyes but then her face softened and her eyes rolled up into the back her head, she fell forward and I caught her easily. Dude, what did she weigh? A pound?
"Sarah?" I said worriedly. "Hey help!" I cried. Damian was to first to run over.
"What happened?"
"I dunno, heat maybe? She said it was hot."
"Yoink." Sarah lurched forward and pulled my glasses off.
"Ha! I told you I was getting those glasses." She laughed.
"By giving me a heart-attack?" I clutched my heart like an old lady.
"Hey I told you. You wanted to make it live. Everybody is watching. Now EVERYbody can see the real Cameron Mitchell." She put on my glasses and looked around the room.
"How many fingers am I holding up?" Lindsay asked, opening a palm in front of Sarah.
"Five. Cameron, these are so fake." She pulled them off and gave them back.
"Shut up." I said jokingly and put my glasses back on.
"It just happened. Like the suspenders."
"Oh cool, you wear suspenders. Nice." Sarah laughed, people shook their heads and returned to practicing. Damian somewhat reluctantly.
"Come on, let's get back to practice."
"Right. You need to stop laughing. You can fake a death, but you can't look into someone's eyes."
"It's your freaking glasses."
"Yeah, yeah."
Rachel POV
"Maybe we should kick a chair over? Wouldn't that be fun?" I offered.
"Yes. The song shows anger which would be good. Like tenacity. We have to show our...I dunno, what does tenacity mean exactly?"
"Well tenacity is defined as determination. This songs shows the singers determination to not go back to someone who hurt her. So we should be pissed."
"Cool. Sounds like fun. Since when did you get so cool?"
"Since I made new friends." I said, unfazed.
Emily POV.
I couldn't stop thinking about plans for the party. It was going to be huge. Artie went on and on about stuff we could do. I tried my best to listen but I kept zoning out.
"I'll do the rap parts. Maybe I could be singing to you, you, how I love you and all."
"Sounds great Artie." I added, not really listening to him. He smiled and looked back over the song lyrics. Only a few more days before party time. Hmm, Noah Puckerman was in my french class. I heard he quite a reputation for partying, maybe he could get some beer for us. He WAS a part of Glee club, there's no shame in asking him, he was cute...
Mercedes POV
"I can't believe we picked each other, this is great, and we got a Lady Gaga song, even better!" Kurt said in one breath. I laughed.
"Cool it, Kurt, so maybe we should do something based on the Video clip?"
"You'll be a mermaid?" Kurt asked.
"No, like you'll be dressed as the guy, and I'll dress up the like the more normal Gaga, the none mermaid one at least."
"That my friend, sounds awesome."
"You damn straight." I giggled.
"We should go shopping tonight for our costumes."
"It's a date."
"A date aye? Wouldn't Blainie be awful mad?"
"I'm gay."
"Yeah, there's that." Kurt laughed.
"Come on Cedes, we got a trip to Breadstix to win."
Lindsay POV
I got really competitive, even in little things. So when I got the one person who couldn't sing, I was pretty crestfallen, heck he could dance, he had been dancing for the past 15 minutes he was good. He was more than good, he had a gift, but obviously god put all his talents in dancing, not in singing. I hoped our prevalence and comedy in the song would give us a few points. I wonder who would be picking the winner.
"Sorry you got stuck with me." Mike said, sitting down.
"Oh, no it's OK."
"You don't look very happy."
"I am one-hundred percent, positively fine with it, you have a gift for dancing, we'll put that in our song too."
"Cool."
Finn POV
"No, you don't put any emotion into your song. And come near me with your dancing I will endz you."
"Yes, Santana." I said through gritted teeth. God she was such a...Ugh, words fail me, she's that horrible.
"OK, from the top." I made no motion to move, I was staring at Rachel, maybe I shouldn't have broken up with her, I mean, maybe she was right, it was Puckerman. She accepted like a compliment, who cares if she was wearing that shirt? It did make her look hot.
"Hudson! I swear to god! Do some freaking work before I break a nut." I yelped and hid my privates.
"Don't be such a baby, now get your ass up and do some freaking work."
"Alright Santana!"
Blaine POV.
Why couldn't I be with Kurt? I bet he would get pissed if I did something with a girl, but no, he was laughing happily with Mercedes, I on the other hand had to listen to Marissa talk about how this song was her life story.
"It just means so much to me, because I feel the emotion between. I was so insecure about myself, I felt I had to change and become perfect. But this song taught me to be happy with myself, that I'm perfect just the way I am."
"Well at least we have the emotion part underway." I mused.
"That's right, that'll give us a leg up on the competition, something that Sarah and Cameron can't bring to the table with their acting."
"Right,"
"Or Lindsay and Mike with their 'comedy' take."
"Exactly."
"And that, my friend is how we will win this!" Woah, friend? I have known this chick for like 20 minutes, and in her audition, I notice how she kept staring at that Cameron guy, bad break up I suppose. But now she was acting really bitter toward the new mini Santana. Well, not really mini Santana cuz Sarah was really nice to other people, just people who were a bitch to her. Gosh, this was confusing.
"Hey, Blaine, Hellooo?" Marissa snapped her fingers in front of my face.
"Oh sorry, blanked out."
"Yeah, so anyway. We should practice tonight just so we can get it under way. Then we'll perform straight up on Wednesday. That means everybody else will have to compete against ours."
"Sounds totally awesome." I shrugged.
This chapter is FINITO again! I felt it would be good to go around all the pairs to see how they work in their group. Obviously some better than others (Cough, Cough. Finn and Santana. Cough, cough) Well I picked Duets, because the easiest way to get people from friends to dating. Or a party, which I will be doing cuz I find them hilarious to make. Especially drunk people, hehe. So review, review, review and tell all your glee buddies about it.
